Moreville Life and Times

Sunday, August 2, 2015

I finally broke down and purchased the new Tris Insurgent doll. I wasn't going to get her, but when I saw her in Target she finally "spoke" to me. Her short hair makes her look cute and sassy, and she'll be a perfect addition to my college kids.

Here she is deboxed.

A close-up view.

I really hate the fact that her arms don't bend.

Her legs bend though. I don't understand why Mattel made the first Tris doll fully articulated and not this one.

I rebodied her on the first Tris' body. The skin tone isn't a perfect match, but it's very close. She'll be Tris' sister, tattoos and all. I don't know her name yet.

Tris and her sister wound up at Bella Donna's for lunch after a successful visit to Dr. Carlyle.

I think Tris' sister will blend in very well with the other students at Moreville College. I'm not sure what she'll study, but the college has many different programs for her to choose from. She's very smart, so she'll do well in whatever course of study she decides on. :-)

After Arty got back from the tech convention, he, Lauren, Cameron and Adaline went out for dinner at Bella Donna's. He knew Cameron liked Adaline a lot and didn't want to do anything that would embarrass his brother in front of her. But unexpected things have a way of happening whenever Arty is around...

I hope they remember to take plenty of water with them as well. It'll help counteract the dehydrating effects of the wine. Of course, all four of them are seasoned wine drinkers, so I'm sure they'll go prepared. Maybe they'll bring back some souvenir glasses - if Arty doesn't accidentally break them that is. :-)

I've been tagged by my great friend Vanessa of Van's Doll Treasures for World Doll Day. I know her post on this was almost a month ago, but I've had so much going on lately, this is the first chance I've had to go back into Moreville.

The rules of the tag are:

1. List my three favorite dolls from the ones I got last year.
2. List three dolls from my wishlist.
3. Tag five people to do the same.

With Arty away at an IT convention, Lauren and Adaline met up at Casey's for a long overdue visit. Arty and Lauren had been dating for over two months, and Lauren felt happy for the first time in a long time. Unfortuneatly, Adaline hadn't been so lucky...

I would say Adaline and Cameron hit it off quite well. Of course, Lauren was hoping that would happen. I don't think she liked Ace all that much. She somehow knew that he wasn't Adaline's type, but she let Adaline find that out for herself. We'll see what develops from here out. :-)
